Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for an improved ultrasound eye scanning device wherein the size of the scan head is reduced significantly and the entire instrument can be placed on a desktop. The improved ultrasound eye scanning device also utilizes imaging goggles to enable better coupling between the patient and the instrument. The imaging goggles also allow both eyes of the patient to be scanned without the patient moving. Another innovation of the ultrasound imaging system according to the present disclosure is the use of the contralateral (opposite) eye for fixation and focusing during scanning.
